Well, Jason got his hands in it today, checked it out. Turns out the swing arm has been weld, grinded, and warped. The swinger had a slight twist in it (1/8 of an inch) and even with Jason trying to help me out, he decided it isn't worth him trying to repair it. He considered it a 250$ paper weight. So as much as I tried to stay positive about where it came from, I got screwed over too. No big deal, I'm giving the guy a full refund and the buyer and I worked it out. big THANKS to pro fab.
